THE ST FACE.
from Dan Valley Echo.l

rom Dan alIey rCHo-l
The stage of modern times can not be
defended on moral grounds, and Is there
fore no place for Christian to be seen.
There are some plays which in the minds
of great actors become great educators,
but they are so few as to hardly constitute
an exception. People do not go 10 thea
tres to be educated but to be amused or
moved to see or be seen. They are near
ly always amused al the expense Of decen-
cy. They are nearly always moved at
imaginary woes, while dead to real suffer
ing. They frequently see what no decent
man or woman ought to see, and when
they go there to be seen they generally
dress or behave in such a manner as no
Christian woman should. Besides, a thirst
for the theatre is as great in those who
have no money as those who have. and 1t
frequently eventuates in crime by those
who have no money, in order to get It.
1t vtiates the taste nearly always, and we
never saw an habitual theatre gocr who
ever amounted to anything but a captious
critic, filled with couceitea nonsense about
''the unities" of a play, while as ignorant
as a new born babe about the affairs of
that grand theatre, the world.

Y ider grows the voice. The windy YER
biage is swelling into tempest. He stamps
and pounds and shrieks. His eyes are
wild, he beats his hands and tears his fin
gers through the ragged name. Words
are inarticulate now in the storm of
frenzy.
The listeners are starting from their
seats, eyes astrain, lips parted nerves
athril with excitement, but us yet silence
intense is upon the audience.
For moment longer the furious storm
continues. There is neither word nor
thought, he raves and stamps and screams
like maniac, till exhausted finally with
frenzy falls upon the bench behind him.
Another brother rises instantly. The
excitement is almost at boiling point; let
it not grow cold. The etnpty howls of the
mad dervish have strung nerves 10 a ten
sion, this one will strike the chords and
wake the wished for music. He knows his
instrument and strikes with master hand

anguish and shouts of salvation.
The terrified sinners fall upon their
knees while the saints give glory for doom

Nerves strung by the bowling dervish now
find relief. They leap into the air and
strike out with arms and feet, they en-
brace and laugh and rave. Some are
singing, children cry with fright, babies
scream inAparoxi-m. The pr9aoh,r has
never ceased but wilder yet above the

BOOMING OXFORD.
The Old Town Marching in the Front
Ranks.


Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.
OXFORD, N. c., Oct %, 1SS7.-O City
Hall and Market House are now we'll un-
der way They will be finished by Febru-
airy 1888.
Last week Dr. Hawkins engineer visited
us with view to establishing in Oxford
water works, gas and electricity. He re-
ports the water supply abundant and easy
of reach, and more than all he found a
population that will let out their last dollar
on Oxford, and who are pulling together
in all things pertaining to her prosperity.
We learn from Major Crawford that the
engineer was so favorably impressed that
he promised all the above indispensable
attributes of city by the time the City
Hall is finished.
And what do these things lead to?
Why no sooner was 1t known that a
water supply was guaranteed than an lnfOr
NAL meeting of some citizens was had and
IA bonus of s., 900 was raised to be donated
to any person erecting a nice brick hotel
of specified dimension and costs. Mr.. j.
A White has torn down his old wooden
hotel building and it is thought that he
will accept the above offer. If he does
not Why it is still open to the world.
Our new railroad is within sight of Ok
ford, and it will be here in few weeks
and when it does come we are gong 10
have a barbecue that will dwarf the ban
uuets Of Charles the Bold Of Burgundy
into a positive famine. And well we may
rejoice. Our road goes on to Raleigh or
Durham A traveller from New York,
Baltimore or Richmond going South will
pass through Oxford. Raleigh freight
and Greensboro and Durham freight will
pass through here. Then will the world
see Oxfords energy, exhibited in her fac
tories, warehouses and prizehouses; her
education and refinement, in her male and
| female schools; her beauty and healthful-
ness, in her hills and rocks and her char
ity, in her Orphan Asylum
To the weak lunged denizen Of the North
her climate offers balm, and to the ma
larial sections of East Carolina she offers
| a safe and welcome refuge.
The speculator and the philosopher, the
man Of business and the man of letters
will each here find congenal friends and
| employment.
What other old town has done what she
has done? She has the dignity of the old
and the strength of the new. Then why
not everybody move upto Oxford at once

culprit If crime is really diminishing,
we fail to see it Wilmington Star.
We take it that the Democrats will or
ganize the next House of Representatives,
if Mr.. Randall allows them. If Mr.. Carlisle
remounts his lofty seat, it will be at the
grace Of Mr.. Randall or by a previous ar
rangement. However this may be, Mr..
Carlsle's reelection could prove nothing
but disaster to the Democratic party and
a calamity to the country at large, if he is
going to travel in his tracks Of obstinacy,
and opposition to the views of able and pa
triotic statesmen of the Democratic party.
Something must be done at the next
session Of Congress; that something must
be something which the people can see and,
more feel-a tightening of taxation; a
great reduction of the surplus. There must
be nothing equivocal or doubtful about it..
A man is needed for Speaker who can
work along on this line and concede and
conciliate - Durham Recorder.
'Will you tell me what the tariff is.''
The tariff, my son, is a plan for taking
shipoads of money from the people for
the purpose of adding it to the first cost
of merchandise at shops and factories, III
order that when these goods are distrlbut
ed and the people buy them they may have
the privilege of paying that much more
for them, say one and half dollars for
one dollars worth of goods. See. And
then it has another purpose. 1t gathers
together these shiploads of money from
all kinds Of people, who could lend It at !
to Is per cent. to their neighbors, and
gathers it all at Washington and holds
millions of it there to lend to the rich men
of the East at 3 per cent. See But
why do the people want to pay their money
to make goods high, and why do the peo-
pie want to give up their own good money
to be lent so cheaply TO the rich men IN
the East, as you say?'' THE people are
mighty foolish about many things, my son "

How Prohibition Works in Maine.
TFrom Governor BOdwell. I

l am trying to enforce prohibition in
Maine, but | find it is the biggest job that
I ever undertook in my life. The law is
fairly well enforced in the rural districts,
and receives the support of the community,
but in the larger cities and towns it is i'm
possible to enforce it, as the liquor men
defy it, and in many instances the local
authorities conspire with the violators and
accept bribes from them.
